Description of the problem | Air conditioning compressor. I had to replace the a/c compressor on my 2015 tahoe about during july 2015. My vehicle has about 65,000 miles. This was unusual in that i have never had to replace this part in any vehicle i have owned over the last 40 years. The service department at the dealership told me that they are using after market replacement parts because the gm supply chain is out of a/c compressors because they are replacing so many of them in tahoe/yukons, silverado pickups and cadillac escalades. The part cost me about $1,400 to replace the part. I contacted gm customer service and was told there was nothing they could do because i was beyond warranty. It seems to me that my situation is not an isolated case but part of larger systemic issue in gm manufacturing. If gm supply chain cannot keep compressors in stock because they are replacing so many defective parts, this rises to the level of being a recall. |
